Hi everybody,
I have a brand new x8, installed 2.2.1 cm but i have a problem, i cant use any wifi tether softwares, it says the kernel is wrong, barnacle starts but cannot be found. Sorry if it is a known bug, i don't really had time to google for it. Thanks for the answers.

it's a known bug, there was another thread like this today. we can't tether until we have custom kernel.

I have factory ROM but barnacle never workd . It shows tethering but client is able to find the conectoin

It works fine for me. Perhaps you are doing something wrong.
It works on custom roms, but after you're finished with your tether the phone will get the 'sd card is safe to remove' bug.

All custom ROMS here are for the A500 so far, nothing for A501. You DID backup your existing ROM, didn't you? It tells you too in the CWM thread!
If you didn't, you're boned until someone else posts an A501 rom dump.

Sorry to hear that but you have to do alot of ready before you do anything and backup everything to be on the safe side.Hopefully someone with a backup for your original rom comes along to help you out good luck.

Too bad, because the devs may have been able to use it to create some custom with more 3G support on A500 with the A501.

Yes i know its my foult I dont know why i didnt backup Rom changing is so automatic for me after a huge collection of android phones ...

try to put the 3.1 update from taiwan... the config does have settings for 3G (normally)

I did a similar thing as ble3e (I'm using Acer Recovery Installer) but when I tried to restore after finding this removed all 3G functions the backup appears to be corrupted (looks like a faulty media card) and fails
I tried the leaked 3.1 update.zip but it is also for the A500 and has no code for the 3G
Desperately looking for an A501 rom image from anyone who has a good backup ... help

You mean this china firmware leaked one ?

yes, or wait seems some people got the "update" notification, so soon will get update.zip official I feel
but I do have the 3G settings on my A500 with the ROM I use, so... I dunno what the tablet A501 got over the A500 (about the settings)
oh the leaked one was an alpha testing btw haha
they probably checked how many left over bugs was there and then fixed them hopefully
no A501 in my country so... can't help more, but I confirm to have the APN and 2G/3G settings on my A500 I just checked it

try virtous galaxy.. it has sms application and has apn in setting,.

Unfortunately none of custom roms have support for mobile . Options in wireless connections are visible but problem is whit network searching ... So I'm still waiting for stock rom for iconia a501

I contacted Acer support about an upgrade fro the A501 to HC3.1 - looks like we will have to wait until Q3 or Q4 for this. Here's theri response:
Unfortunately the 3.1 update will not be available for A501 tablets, instead they will be updated to 3.2 by Q3 or Q4 of this year which will of course include all the changes from 3.1 and much more.
Still looking for a stock rom for the A501.

cant you just ask acer to provide the full original rom so u can just flash it ?

Just backed up my a501 rom yesterday. Will upload it a little later on today.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000T + Acer Iconia A501
(Telecom NZ) (2degrees)

Here's my backup. Hope it helps.

You are THE MAN i will check it later and post result

Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.

Thanks for help . My tablet is working again

You mean to tell me that all the a500 roms (even with the a500 battery saving app available from the market which makes a500's stop searching for 3g connection to save battery) have a completely crippled APN configuration area and theres not even an update we can flash over the top to enable it??
Why would they need an app to stop it looking for 3g connection if the 3g connection was compeltely crippled anyway?

ble3e please give me a quick tip on how u installed the backed up rom cause i cant seem to flash it as it keeps getting aborted when i try to flash it through CWM

Latest/ best current Ginger Mod for A953?

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.

As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)

Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.

after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !

Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.

Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.

exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++

So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?

Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.
CU,

O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?

MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.

MZ601 HK edition with ICS EOS IMM76D Nightly 76

Hi Everyone,
First, I cannot post any URL, so please try to find the link in XDA forum.
For anyone who has MZ601 in HK version, I would like to share my experience for you.
I have installed the EOS IMM76D Nightly 76 (56ce435) with my Xoom, which is working, both Wifi and 3G are connected. A fresh OS and now I'm going to dig more inside and restore some apps that I have backup from HoneyComb.
Here are my steps to ICS
URL: search XDA forum with words "Step by step procedure to root mz601 and flash ics custom rom"
I actually follow this link to install flash ROM and install EOS. My Xoom already rooted long time and running Tiamat OS in 3.2, so far so good, but has problem with the Play Store, which I think many people did.
Anyway, the core part is I'm not using "Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0", as it didnt work for me, so I search the Nightly version and have a tried.
Go here is get the OS and install, should be work. Also remember to install the Google Apps.
Google it: Eos-umts_everest-76.zip
Google apps: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
I will post more when I finish resume my Xoom Apps that I used everyday.
Good Luck.

What is exactly your issue with play store? I am more than willing to assist you if I can.

I've got a UK 3g MZ601, also running EOS nightly (currently 77). No problem with the market though... did you install the gapps package on top of EOS?
How do you ind 3g? I travel a lot and find that as I'm moving the data connection breaks and needs to cycle through flight mode before data will work (even though it shows a 3g or H connection on my signal).

wifi tether on any rom?

hello mates.
I know there are already some threads about tethering (i know, i used "search" before creating new thread)
My problem is this:
i flashed a lot of roms found in the developers section. miui, cm7 and oxygen, actually i think i have tested them all, doing the 3 wipes EVERY TIME...(god bless titanium backup)
I never got wifi tethering to work properly not with native feature nor with any app on the market.
with pc 1/5 could make the tethering
with ics tablet and SE x10mini i got endless connect-reconnect making internet unusable and sometimes i could not even find u8800 in the list of available networks.
I tried sharing 3g with SE neo v and everything went ok perfectly stable connection.
So my question is: has anyone, in ANY rom, got the wifi-tethering to work properly?
Thanx

Im using aurora and barnacle wifi tether. So far no problem.
Can you check your wifi mac please, it may be nulled.

Mac is ok, never updated to .35 kernel. I am sure that it is somehow prolly drivers problem on 8800 because if I share from other phones to my tablet connection is fast and stable
Could it been .32 problem?

Ive used miui for a long time and i was using barnacle. If i were you i would install 2.2 again and try the native one and barnacle.
If it wont work backup your imei and update to 5xx (.35) and try to tether. Anyhow you can go back abytime youll want.
